Whom Do You Seek?
Acts 1-3 Interestingly, Peter references the empty tomb as proof of the deity of Christ. Other religions have their “masters,” but where are they? Peter proclaimed: “our forefather David, that he both died and was buried, and his tomb is with us to this day. “[Acts 2:29] Mohammed is in his tomb as are Buddha and others, but where is Christ? He is in the heavens sitting at the right hand of God. If ever there was proof of Christ as the Son of God, it is that. “This Jesus God raised up, and we are all witnesses of it.” [Acts 2:32] Peter then explained: God raised up his servant and sent him first to you, to bless you by turning each one of you from your iniquities.” [Acts 3:26]
Christ lived, was crucified, buried in a rich man’s tomb which could not hold him, and He was raised on the 3rd day just as He said.
Whom do you seek? A prophet in a tomb or one who has ascended to heaven just as He prophesied He would do and did in Acts 1?
